This is really just a general musing on all things web. Do you ever get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of learning there is to be done? I'm not criticising Treehouse by any means at all - I think this is a fantastic learning website and has really helped me to understand things. It's just sometimes I don't get a lot of time to put the things I have learned into practice in my day to day work/life.
I'm a digital media specialist in a company which provides accessible materials for blind people and I really see potential benefits in using up to date methods/code advocated here on Treehouse in our products but sometimes I think my words fall on deaf ears.
This is not through indifference to the methods I am advocating but rather (in my opinion) it's just a case that the folks I'm talking to don't understand what I mean. It's a busy place I suppose and the current outlook is get the materials to the customer. Unfortunately this is sometimes regardless of quality. If it's 90% correct I feel that is good enough for the powers that be. I want to make a better, more usable, user centered design.
Apologies for ranting but thought someone else might have encountered the same experience in their daily lives. How do you deal with it?

Treehouse Moderator 91,254 PointsI absolutely do. There's so much learning material out there that I don't by any means take in. Sometimes it gets overwhelming and you wonder how much you've taken in.
The example foremost on my mind is the development tools courses like Console Basics and Git. I've completed the course but haven't by any means completely got my head around all the concepts and if I'm honest, I've not really used it since I finished the course.
Just know that all the courses you have taken will be available for the lifetime that course runs and generally when they go, they're replaced by better more up to date courses. :-)
